John Prine Lyrics

“My brother Dave taught me a chord and the first time I
held down a chord I didn’t muffle it, well, I just sat
there with my ear on the wood even after the sound died
feeling the vibrations. From there, it was me sitting there
alone in a room singing to a wall."

And what about his very first audience?

“Well, the wall seemed to like it…” Prine says now with a
twinkle in his eye and his characteristic understatement.
That wall has an awful lot in common with countless people
Prine has touched his songs. He’s certainly come a long way More...

Review about John Prine songs

Authorship | Reviewer: Crazy Daisy

------ About the song There She Goes performed by John Prine

I do believe that John Prine wrote this song. At least it was recorded on his LP "Bruised Orange" back in the mid-seventies.
Chad Hugo would have been about 3 or 4 years old back then, so I'm guessing Chad's authorship would be well nigh impossible.

------ About the song Sam Stone performed by John Prine

Swamp Dogg delivered this song to make you feel it! This was daddy's favorite song (RIP). I listen to it and smile in memory of my daddy. It's a great song by all who sings it. "There's a hole in daddy's arm, where all the money goes. Jesus Christ Died for Nothing, I Suppose!" :)

------ About the song She Is My Everything performed by John Prine

This is just a perfect song to play for the right girl. That girl would have to really understand the beat and lyrics (even though it strays a bit) it's still one of the best to play for one girl, one audience of one, I just need the right one to play it for :( Not wasting this one.

------ About the song Sam Stone performed by John Prine

Hi, I just listened to the Swamp Dogg review - I have to say it absolutely doesn't do John Prine's song any justice. There are some songs that simply should not be redone and this is definitely one of them - it loses something when Swamp Dogg does it, this song isn't a jazzy song - it's a sad song, about a man that goes to fight for his country, sees things, does things, experiences things that a lot of us know absolutely nothing about, comes back addicted to a horrible habit, and his child watches as dad self-destructs because of it, like so many other families witnessed their loves ones destruction from drugs, alcohol, etc. Swamp Dogg needs to step down from this one.

good song | Reviewer: taressa

Masterpeice of Music | Reviewer: Adam

------ About the song Sam Stone performed by John Prine

I was raised on John Prine due to the fact that he was my fathers favorite artist, next to the Rolling Stones of course. Of all the Songs I have heard of Mr.Prine made, Sam Stone is number one on my top three (below are saddle in the rain and sweet revenge). If you are a fan of John Prine or simply a fan of music in general I advive you to listen to this song first, with will inevitably get you hooked early and his talent will not relase you from its grasp.

Praise from the mailman | Reviewer: Dave Chnupa

------ About the song Everybody performed by John Prine

I've searched long and hard for this song, stumping even Terri Hemmert from WXRT. Should have guessed it came from either Steve Goodwin or John (ex-mailman in Chicago suburbs) Prine. Prine still speaks for man as well as he did long ago. Short, happy tune with cathcy lyrics - suitable for any modern praise team.
